[ISSUE]: "gitversion /version" fails if not run from a git repository

[ghostdox]

Prerequisites

• I have written a descriptive issue title
• I have searched issues to ensure it has not already been reported

GitVersion package

GitVersion.Portable

GitVersion version

6.X

Operating system

Windows

What are you seeing?

Running gitversion /version or gitversion --version from a command line fails if not run inside a git repository/directory.

This worked fine with the previous 5.X version.
See a related issue here.

What is expected?

Should display the version of gitversion, without being forced to be inside a git repository/folder.

Steps to Reproduce

Run on Windows, have chocolatey installed:

cd C:\
choco install gitversion.portable -y
gitversion /version

RepositoryFixture Test

No response

Output log or link to your CI build (if appropriate).

@ghostdox if you run it inside of a git repository it should work, but agree, version and help should not depend on the presence of .git folder
